the next time someone says we have to focus on the economy and not the ‘culture war’, tell them to go to fucking Omaha
RESULT: Omaha's Republican Mayor Jean Stothert just lost to her Democratic challenger John Ewing.

Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor.

Top level Dems will interpret this as license to be as spiteful to the left as they want, because "we can win Omaha without you".
